Yunel Escobar added a solo drive for Toronto, which leads the
majors with 211 homers.

"The only way you're going to have a chance against these guys
is you've got to keep the ball in the ballpark," Rangers manager
Ron Washington said. "They got seven and six came via the long
ball."

Even the seats were no haven on this day. In the seventh, a fan
was struck on the right shoulder by a falling metal letter "B"
after a foul ball by Jose Bautista hit a sign honoring Jackie
Robinson.

The man was treated with ice packs and returned to his seat.

"I was very surprised, because I didn't expect a 'B' to fall on
me," said the injured fan, who gave only his first name as Ian
and said he was a season-ticket holder from Toronto.

Tommy Hunter (12-3) struggled early as the AL West-leading
Rangers lost their fourth straight. Texas has lost six in a row
to Toronto since a win on opening day, getting outscored 48-24
in that span.

The Rangers left 10 men on base and went 3 for 13 with runners
in scoring position.

"We need to start hitting better," infielder Jorge Cantu said.
"We haven't been scoring that many runs. We need to find a way
to get on base."

Washington said he's seen "a little bit of everything" during
the Rangers' poor run.

"One day it might be the pitching, one day it might be the
defense, one day it might be us not putting enough runs on the
board," Washington said. "We've just got to work our way through
this, and we will."

Ricky Romero (12-8) allowed one run and seven hits in seven
innings. Shawn Camp pitched the eighth and Brian Tallet gave up
Michael Young's RBI double in the ninth.

Romero is 2-1 with an 0.92 ERA in four career starts against
Texas.

"It's been fun to play behind Ricky," Wells said. "He challenges
everybody, he throws strikes, he's been able to have command of
some nasty stuff. His ball moves all over the place and he's
been able to harness it. He's learning how to pitch in the
toughest division in baseball and it's been fun to watch him
grow."

Toronto took a 1-0 lead in the second when John Buck struck out
on a wild pitch with two outs, allowing him to reach base and
letting Wells score from third.

Rangers catcher Taylor Teagarden tried to throw home on the
play, but Washington said Teagarden should have gone to first.

"The right play is at first base," Washington said. "You've got
Buck up there swinging and missing, the ball's not too far away,
(Buck) can't run, it's the third out. You take the easy one."

The Blue Jays broke it open with a five-run third. Dewayne Wise
singled, Bautista walked and Wells lined his 25th home run. Lyle
Overbay then doubled and Hill connected for a drive to left, his
23rd homer and second in as many days.

Hunter blamed the poor inning on "a couple of cutters than spun"
and said he had trouble with the pitch all day.

"It's an effective pitch when it's good, very effective," Hunter
said. "They just caught it when it was not good and caught it
pretty square."

Vladimir Guerrero doubled and scored on David Murphy's single in
the fourth, but Escobar restored the six-run cushion with a solo
drive in the seventh.

Hunter, who had won his previous three starts, allowed seven
runs and seven hits in seven innings.
